Import Tips
• Include organic certificate from accredited body (e.g
• USDA NOP equivalent) and ensure chain-of-custody documentation
• Test for pesticide residues upon arrival; non-compliant lots face rejection or re-export under FDA/USDA rules
• Label as 'organic oil seeds' but declare botanical name to prevent confusion with food-grade seeds
